Christine was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal College in 2009 and was presented with the Chiron award from the BVA in 2010 for her work in communication skills training. She is also Chairman of the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) Educational Trust and a past President and Treasurer of SPVS.
